What is Bob Harvie's platform for small businesses and the local economy?
Bob Harvie's economic platform includes giving small businesses better access to capital and fewer bureaucratic roadblocks, repealing the tariffs on allies that raise input costs for local businesses, and raising the minimum wage so workers have more money to spend at local shops and restaurants. As a county commissioner with a strong bipartisan record, he has seen firsthand how small businesses were squeezed during the pandemic and how important targeted government support can be. He believes a healthy local economy depends on thriving small businesses — and he will fight for them in Congress.
